Just heard Salt and Pepper on the radio, and it reminded me of early high school discos, anyone else got any songs that spring to mind for the same reason?

    Just the usual school Christmas party drivel...

    "Love will tear us apart" by Joy Division (classic song!)
    "Hi Ho Silver Lining" by Jeff Beck
    "Whip it" by Devo
    "Can Can" by Buster Bloodvessel and Bad Manners
    "Last Christmas" by Wh*m

    I feel sorry for Alice. She obviously had a stalker.

    Re:School Disco

    My school discos usually had the following - up to 1978

    Any fast Abba - Dancing Queen usually
    All the glam rock - T Rex, Bowie, Gary Glitter, Sweet
    Donna Summer - I Feel Love
    Commodores - Three Times A Lady
    10cc - I'm Not In Love
    Van McCoy - The Hustle and The Shuffle

    Most stuff by all the Osmond and Jackson clans

    And so on.

    Would now be a good time to bring David Cassidy into the mix?

    He wasn't at my school disco, but I can't rave about music without him by my side...

    Never flipping heard of it!

    Talking of stalkers, there was a programme on a while ago where Stuart Copeland - drummer with The Police - was talking about their hit single, "Every Breath You Take". It amuses him/them that people have this song played at their weddings and associate it as a classic love song when it's actually about a stalker. Quoted from Wikipedia;

    "The track was written during the collapse of Sting's marriage to Frances Tomelty; the lyrics are the words of a sinister, controlling character, who is watching "every breath you take/every move you make"[1]. However, this fact has often gone unnoticed, or is ignored, and hence the song is often taken as a love song".

    He also spoke about the time he once met John Lennon and that he (Lennon) was an awful person in real life and certainly doesn't deserve the immortal and heroic post-death status his legend now carries.

    Re:School Disco

    Can I add.... from the early 90's.

    Zoe - Sunshine on a rainy day. Definite cheer factor on this one.
    Yazz - the only way is up (heard this last week and she has a way better voice than I remembered)
    Rythmn is a dancer - can't remember the artists name.
    Crash test dummies - Mm Mm Mm ( I think)
    Spin Doctors - 2 Princes.

    All played frequently along with Salt n Pepa at my school discos. In fact think I got my first snog to Rythmn is a Dancer..... memories.

    Re:School Disco

    We know we're getting old when we hear cover versions of songs that we can still remember from when they were the originals a la Atomic Kitten's "Eternal Flame"! Even worse, we turn into our parents when we start criticising them!

    Where's me walking stick?

    The ultimate snog - school disco, 5 songs later and 3 pints of saliva after... we finished. To the anger of watching teachers who tried in vain to move my hand from the girls bottom, I had the eyes closed and thought it was mates messing around so I was giving them the middle finger.... to my shock when I left the 'Embrace' the stoney glare of the headmaster.... oh the memories :-)

    Jamie, maybe you should go to Helen's smutty party and buy yourself a leash, you animal!

    Most embarrassing thing I ever did at school was when I was getting my O' level certificates in our old massive assembly hall which was packed full of parents, pupils and teachers. I stuck my tongue out big style to a couple of mates in the front row who were messing around, but the entire audience obviously thought it was to them and seemed to gasp as one. I went beetroot red, felt about one inch tall and couldn't leave fast enough.

    Northern Soul - now that does bring back the memories. Great to watch - the guys in our discos were really good at it!
